We will discuss Long Term, Mid Term and Short Term trends.

We will say that the trend is bullish if the price forms at least 2 consequent bullish impulses with a retracement leg between them, so that the price would set at least 2 higher highs and a higher low between them.

We will say that the trend is bearish if the price forms at least 2 consequent bearish impulses with a retracement leg between them, so that the price would set at least 2 lower lows and a lower high between them.

If none of these conditions are met, we will say that the market is consolidating.
